<B>1834 $2 1/2 Classic MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Breen 6138. Small Head, Large Arrowheads. The curls on the back of Liberty's head are almost in a straight line, characteristic of the Small Head subtype. The fields are unusually prooflike, although glimpses of cartwheel luster are also present. The strike is also uncommonly sharp, since the only trace of weakness is on the central rounded curls above Liberty's ear, an area which is notoriously weak on this series. First year of issue of the Classic type, struck in a lower tenor which allowed gold coinage to return to circulation and avoid the melting pots which gobbled up so many of the earlier issues. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 7 in 65, 1 finer (11/07).<BR><I>Ex: Gold Rush Collection, FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/05), lot 30029, which realized $32,200.<BR>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Kneass<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
